The New Dry Docks.

WASHINGTON, March 3l.-Secretary Whit
ney has approved the report of the board
appointed to select the sites fol the two
new dry docks authorized by thelastCongress.
The docks will be located at the New York
and Norfolk navy yards, and will be built
by contract on the general plan of the Simp.
son dry docks. They will be constructed of
timber, and the dimensions will be about as
follows: Length 4S5 feet width, at the
top, 125 feet, and width at the bottom go
feet The amount of money available for
their construction is 100000. The New
York dock will cost more than the dock at
Norfolk, owing to the difficulty of obtaining
good foundation. A good foundation of
blue clay and gravel can be obtained at Nor
folk at depth of 35 feet, while at New
York innumerable quicksands and springs
are found at similar depth. necessitating
heavy piling to obtain foundation capable
of disappearing vessel of 5000 to 10000 tons
in weight The exact location in the yards
of the two docks cannot be determined but
borings will be made within short time to
ascertain the nature of the foundation.
